Dale asked me to write about St. Patrick's Day, so here we go. It started off with a green bath in candlelight while painting pictures with shaving cream. The girls loved the glow of the candlelight and every time Colette got some shaving cream she tried to rub it on her leg only to watch it disolve in the water. She was pretty fascinated by it and kept begging for more. Next was our green breakfast, which consisted of green eggs with spinach mixed in to make it green, green grape juice, green grapes, and green waffles. We read Green Eggs and Ham while we ate. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, even Dale.
Next we went outside to check out our Leprechaun hat trap. The girls were anxious to see their caught leprechaun. But to our disappointment, we only found chocolate gold coins, a leprechaun hat, and a note telling us that our trap was not clever enough to catch him. We did manage to get his hat. I guess that is a start.
Finally, we went on a treasure hunt. I found a poem online about how if you leave a treasure box in the moon light the night before St. Paddy's day, when the leprechauns come out they have to fill the treasure box, but since they like to be tricky they also hide it. If you can't find it before the day is done, then they get all their gold and goodies back. So I hid small scraps of paper rolled up around the house and the girls followed the clues till they found their treasure box. In the photo to the left, Colette is admiring what the leprechaun left us. She loves chocolate anything and has a knack for knowing if its the real deal or not. We didn't have to tell her what to do with this treasure. And that was our day. It was fun.
